I don't know what to say. How anyone could be that disturbed to shoot helpless children, 20 kids, and 6 adults, teachers, many of which, spent their last moments trying to save their students. We've seen mass shootings, but none as bad this. These are national school children, the most innocent of all, many of them weren't more than 5 or 6 years of age. Small enough to be hidden in cupboards and cabinets, who knew nothing of evil and hate.
Families have been destroyed.
The thought of the hysteria and the mass panic, when families were waiting for any sort of news.
A parents worst nightmare, no matter who or where you were, thoughts turned to our families. Obama's speech hit home to us all, you go home to your kids and you hug them tight.
This evil has stollen their innocence, their childhood. We can only hope that some of them are just too young to fully understand what they saw, truth be told, none of us understand what happened.
My last thought goes to the first responders. The families will go home and try to rebuild, but those cops, paramedics etc, face all kinds of evil every single day, but nothing like that. Facing the innocent victims and facing the horror of their families.
How do you go home, you respond to the shooting, see a masacre, what do you do for the rest of the day? They've been trained how to deal with their emotions in the event itself, but it's after, when they close their doors, and go home to their own families is when it must really hit home.
The medical examiner dealing with the bodies as well, God help them.
Plenty of support will be offered to the families involved but I hope as much help will be enforced on the first responders, many of which are hesistant to seek help at all.
They'll be haunted by those events. I just hope they can find a way through that. They are resiliant, but you wonder how they can recover from such an event.
God help them all.
Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
